Golden, Colorado paintings by Topher Straus
Golden, Colorado
Topher Straus lives and works in Golden, Colorado, in the foothills west of Denver. From here he paints the sun rising over the mesa above town and the red rock walls of Red Rocks, just down the road in Morrison.
His home gallery is his studio here in Golden, minutes from Denver and Boulder and an easy drive from Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. Collectors have flown in from across the country just for the studio tour. Tours are private and by application: every guest is interviewed first, because Topher puts his heart and soul into every tour.
“This piece celebrates the sunrise power of the Colorado Plateau—there’s nothing quite like watching that golden light spill over the mesa.”

About Golden

Just south, in Morrison, Red Rocks Amphitheatre opened in 1941 between two 300-foot sandstone monoliths, Ship Rock and Creation Rock.
